[Member Intro] A bit about me...

[jfitch]

Hey, I used to speedcube, from around '04 to '09, with rubik's brand cubes. I used cfop for 3x3 and I was averaging under 20 seconds when I stopped and I knew (still remember) full pll and I was learning 1 look olls. The 2x2s I had would always break, but I had a 4x4 and 5x5 I would solve using redux. No idea about my average on the 5x5, but with the 4x4 I think I was right around 2 minutes.
I stumbled upon an old 3x3 a while ago and got interested in solving using commutators, so lately I've been reading up on 3 cycles and trying to do some independent research. I'm still working on a lettering system and recognition of (many) cycle cases so I haven't attempted a blindsolve yet, but I'm more into bld than speed rn. I don't have many cubes, just a couple old 3x3s and a 4x4 but I'm planning on modernizing and growing my collection but I just moved back to my home state after living halfway across the country for the last 6 years and need a job first lol. Oh yeah, it's really cool that HUGE cubes are commercially available now!

Hello to the forums!
I hope you gain a lot about bld techniques and just general solving knowledge here. (There's an amazing guy here that does 5bld called @abunickabhi in the forums.)

Welcome! What are your average times on those puzzles now?

I've really just been getting back into cubing and haven't done any averages, but I'll get to it
